A lot of building tension over the last couple of days as this region really waited to see how israel would respond to that unprecedented attack by iran last saturday. We didnt know what it would look like in what would happen and some people yesterday thinking it was not going to happen until after the upcoming passover holiday. We now know according to fox news Military Source that israel is responding to iran with these very targeted and specific strikes in the esfahan region. That is roughly 200 miles away from the iranian capital of tehran. This is significant because not only is it close to the capital, but also near the Nuclear Facility. We should mention the site was not hit in the strike appeared to target the nearby iranian airbase. But really clearly shows that israel has the capabilities to hit this area and hit it when it wants to. As it stands, Iranian Media has been downplaying the strike. I havent reported damage from the strike or direct impact. Relieves only comments
what they were saying is, look, what we need you to know this is we have the billing capability to attack you at any time so don t cross any lines ever again in terms of striking us on their territory. todd: john, to your point, does this mean that this is the end that both israel and iran have gotten a off-ramp that they wanted? where is this just the beginning? no, todd, what i think is this is something where there is status quo on both sides that neither side wants to cross. iran demonstrated that it is willing, once again, a capability message from their standpoint, they have the will to attack israel directly, which is something that has never happened before. second is they have the capability to do so. on the other side, once again, israel sending very strong signal because deep into iran right in the middle of the country and right next to its most important strategic facility, which is the nuclear facility.
